Here, have an award for best editing! 🏆

[@Darkly_i_Shine]

Lol, that's nice of you especially since I started this channel to learn video editing. Its been very rewarding 🙂

[@springform_99]

My theory is Ruby and Doctor got punished by fairies in different ways, but Ruby is able to make amends by living a life of being alone and fixing the Roger nuclear thing. Then she got sent back to the original timeline but now she remembers to respect the fairies.

[@steve8510]

I think the spirit of Mad Jack wiped the Doctor (as the main threat) from the timeline when he broke the fairy ring. It's implied that the Doctor is the one that stops Mad Jack in the future but once he's gone there is only Ruby left to stop Jack and restore the timeline... it's very timey wimey loopey.

Hope you feel better! 💙

[@IsiahBradley]

WOO-WOO!!! You're back and I hope your recovery continues well!!! THANKS for this!!!

[@Darkly_i_Shine]

Thank you very much! Recovering going good so far. 🤞🏽

[@hashtagPoundsign]

Yay! Welcome back!!! hahahaha I love your edits and all the cuts and commentary. “is it Ruby?” *rolls credits* put a huge smile on my face. I agree with you that just let doctor who be the bonkers wonderful show that it is. Change is a universal constant. Your review is spot on, your commentary is fantastic, this was an episode. Thank you so very much!!!

[@Darkly_i_Shine]

Omg thank you so much. I appreciate your words so much!

[@HuntingViolets]

They have explained why there is magic, which is why I appreciate the 14 flashback.

[@HuntingViolets]

Loved the inserts.

[@HuntingViolets]

I like that you (and I) caught the credits being over the action instead of having their usual space. And, yeah, how could he be worse than the Master?

[@Badlybehavedrobot]

Glad to see you back! No spoilers on the next one...

[@Darkly_i_Shine]

THANK YOU!

[@HuntingViolets]

Ruby obviously hasn't watched _The Cabin in the Woods_ or any of 500 other horror movies.

[@HuntingViolets]

These people in the pub are such jerks.

[@Darkly_i_Shine]

Right! Just so rude!

[@darkphoenix6807]

Yeah, none of us know what in the world we just saw.

[@darkphoenix6807]

Perfect recap! 😂

[@Darkly_i_Shine]

Good to know I wasn't alone

[@AmaanKhan-d8m]

I dont know about the woman's hand gestures and why exactly 73 yards, but i do have other theories. Where did the doctor go: he was the one who broke the fairy circle, so his disappearance from existance was a type of punishment. And why didnt Ruby disappear? She was the one who took the scroll about Mad Jack and read it, so taking down the PM had become her mission alone, although she didnt know it yet. Why did the woman make everyone hate Ruby: I feel like it was a defence mechanism, coz nothing should hamper Ruby's mission of dethroning the PM. If Unit, for example, successfully intervened and captured the woman, Ruby would have never been able to deal with the PM. So, its like: you try to approach her or talk to her, then you are repelled by her and driven away from Ruby, so that Ruby's mission can be completed without impediments or distractions. Nobody tried to approach the woman after Ruby dealt with the PM, so we don't know if this theory holds. Unfortunately the PM took advantage of Marti, and Ruby feels guilty coz she introduced them. This adds to his villany and why we are motivated to see him dethroned. So Marti is esctatic when the PM runs away and resigns. There is no loop or paradox. The episode occured in an alternate timeline, like Kate told Ruby. And in that timeline, Ruby stopped the PM from leading the "the world to the brink of nuclear war", to quote the Doctor. So there is no actual nuclear war. When the timeline is reset in the final scene, Ruby does not live a life where she will stop the PM, so it isnt a paradox. Her original timeline is restored when she dies in her deathbed and united with the old woman. In the final scene, the doctor again tells Ruby about the dangerous PM. It is a fixed event in time that cannot be changed. Going by the exact words of the Doctor, the PM will indeed come to power in 2046, but clearly doesn't do any catastrophic damage. He simply acquires the weapons for symbolism and leads the world to the "brink" of nuclear war. This entire episode was in an alternate timeline and trying to be all meta coz in this alternate timeline, Doctor Who does not have a title sequence.

[@HuntingViolets]

I think there is no title sequence because when the Doctor is erased from existence, there is no longer a "Doctor Who" (even though that's not his name).

[@HuntingViolets]

If someone is following me, I'm not sure I'd ask why.

[@Darkly_i_Shine]

At least not in an isolated area that seems like a horror movie level mistake

[@HuntingViolets]

@@Darkly_i_Shine Running to the pub seemed like the best bet. Who knew it would be full of weirdos who wandered in from a 1960s _Avengers_ episode?

[@steve8510]

She's not even black was gold.

[@Darkly_i_Shine]

Oh good! I almost cut it out. I know Sometimes people can be a bit sensitive even over a joke.

[@HuntingViolets]

A yard is three feet.

[@Darkly_i_Shine]

They've been trying to teach me this since high school. Let's see if it sticks in the brain this time

[@HuntingViolets]

@@Darkly_i_Shine We'll see! I'm surprised they used yard, since they're on the metric system now. Maybe it depends.

[@HuntingViolets]

The Marty part seems unnecessary. We already know he's evil.

[@IsiahBradley]

[SPOILERS FOR NEXT WEEK] P.S. A fun Whovian game to play is "Which Doctor would have just walked away at the end of 'Dot and Bubble'?" My votes would be Nine, Eleven and Twelve.

[@Darkly_i_Shine]

Haven't seen it yet 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@IsiahBradley]

@@Darkly_i_Shine Oops! Forgot!!! Well, hold this thought!
